Going haywire I do not have a good faith, so I go from one blade to another. I tried Virtuoso with F2, Borko with Mark VAD, Roots 5 with F2 and Rapscallion with Rakza 7 soft. I think Raqpscallion is too stiff.I think I am starting to get some feel on it, my trainer said that my stroke is getting better, but the spin is still far from good. I used to hit hard, so I find it rather difficult to brush the ball .

You might try looping with slower stroke speed, and longer arm movement and aim to land the ball only half-way down the table?

I found learning FH looping, needed lots more controlled strokes with very compact placement. "Play inside the box" is a typical requirement during practice ( rectangle size of A4 sheet ).

Also I found that if I don't worry too much about how high the ball rises and as long as it comes down half-table, I can start putting a lot more spin on the ball with a faster vertical stroke while still landing the ball in the box.

Now to generate speed I close the bat angle and play the same stroke diagonally with explosive results And yes the ball lands , and on the white lines, and goes phwooom

Yeah, there's a very fine line between too heavy a contact (and the ball goes flying off) and missing the ball entirely. I don't think switching blades has anything to do with it, though it can't help. Whatever happened to the Violin, etc.?

Man and iskandar got it. Love stiga. Stay away from hard if you’re starting out. I started with stiga rosewood soft rubber now up to carbonados (I have them all), xiom hinoki is fun but I don’t ply matches with it. But you need good technique! Use your legs, then arm lastly wrist. The more speed the faster the blade you can handle. Lately I’ve gotten slower and I’m blocking more. Too old.
